Chapter 1078: Chapter 1079: Truly a Princess

“Lanqun, are you satisfied with this arrangement?” Song Xiaodong lowered his head and looked at Qi Lanqin.

Facing Song Xiaodong’s gaze, Qi Lanqin suddenly felt a rush of panic and nodded repeatedly, saying, “Satisfied, satisfied.” Everything happened too quickly, and it all left her without the ability to think, so she could only respond subconsciously.

“Good, then let’s go.” Song Xiaodong said as he directly wrapped an arm around Qi Lanqin and started walking outside. Everyone immediately made way, all looking at Song Xiaodong with eyes full of awe.

“Brother Liang, we… we…” The girl called Little Jade, her face now swollen like a pig’s head, looked at Wang Liang with a pained expression.

“What ‘we’? Hurry up and help me to the hospital, it hurts like hell.” Wang Liang cursed angrily.

“Brother Liang, are we just going to let this go?”

“What else can we do? Even CEO Lin serves as his lackey, how can I stand up against him? It’s all your fault, playing tough here. Otherwise, would I have had my arm broken?”

As these people left sheepishly, the bar suddenly buzzed with heated discussions.

The mighty presence of Song Xiaodong just now had earned everyone’s admiration. It was completely different from those who bluff their way around; his utter control and command showcased a power that could only come from immense strength.

What intrigued everyone even more was Song Xiaodong’s identity. However, no one knew who he really was, and this mystery became a legend in the bar.

The other female employees at the bar were extremely envious of Qi Lanqin. They also wished for a man to stand up for them like that, and, in the future, many girls even came to work here with the dream of having a prince on a white horse suddenly appear.

Qi Lanqin was taken away by Song Xiaodong in a daze and only came to her senses when she found herself in a hotel room, with only her and Song Xiaodong in the room.

“Song… Big Brother Song, why… why did you bring me here?” Qi Lanqin twisted her fingers, lowering her head, not daring to look at Song Xiaodong.

Song Xiaodong smiled slightly and sat down beside Qi Lanqin, saying, “Lanqun, you don’t need to be afraid, I don’t intend to do anything to you. I just have a few words I want to say.”

“Oh, then… then you say.” Qi Lanqin still dared not look at Song Xiaodong, her heart filled with tension. Back then, she indeed thought of relying on Song Xiaodong to help her seek revenge. But now that Song Xiaodong had brought her to the hotel, she didn’t want him to actually say such a thing. She always believed Song Xiaodong was a good guy, and she didn’t want his image to be tarnished.

Song Xiaodong took out a Dragon Badge and looked at Qi Lanqin, slowly saying, “Do you recognize this?”

Qi Lanqin looked at the Dragon Badge, stunned for a moment, then raised her head, looking at Song Xiaodong in astonishment, saying, “How did this badge end up with you, Brother Song?”

Song Xiaodong’s heart skipped a beat, and he said excitedly, “Are you saying this Dragon Badge is yours?”

“Dragon Badge? Oh, there is indeed a dragon on it, but I didn’t know it was called the Dragon Badge.”

“Answer me, is this yours?” Song Xiaodong stared at Qi Lanqin.

Qi Lanqin felt her heart prickled by Song Xiaodong’s gaze and stammered, “This… this was originally mine, but… Zhao Hua took it away.”

Song Xiaodong let out a breath, a smile appearing on his face, and said, “That’s good. Could you tell me, where did you get this Dragon Badge?”

This time, Song Xiaodong was more cautious. He was also afraid that Qi Lanqin had obtained the Dragon Badge from someone else.

Seeing Song Xiaodong’s tone soften, Qi Lanqin relaxed a bit and said, “I don’t know either, it just seemed to always be at my home. After my parents passed away, I found it in a drawer at home. I don’t know what it’s for, Brother Song, is this badge important?”

“Very important, it pertains to the proof of your identity.”

“Proof of my identity?” Qi Lanqin had a puzzled look on her face.

Song Xiaodong nodded and said, “Did you know that your parents aren’t actually your biological parents?”

Qi Lanqin nodded and said, “I know, even though I was young and clueless back then, the neighbors told me after my parents died.”

“Do you know who your biological parents are?”

“Ah? You know?” Qi Lanqin immediately grabbed Song Xiaodong’s hand in excitement.

Song Xiaodong nodded and said, “Yes, I know. But before telling you, I need to hypnotize you and ask you a few questions.”

“Ah?” Qi Lanqin was startled, but her thirst for her background made her agree readily.

Song Xiaodong called Miao Qingyuan over. This time, he was extremely cautious, specially asking Miao Qingyuan to hypnotize Qi Lanqin.

While Qi Lanqin was hypnotized, he asked again about the origin of the Dragon Badge. Her answers didn’t differ from before, and she even provided more details, which was enough to prove that the Dragon Badge was indeed hers.

After Miao Qingyuan left, Qi Lanqin also woke up but was still a bit confused, staring blankly at Song Xiaodong.

Song Xiaodong looked at her with a smile and said, “Lanqun, even if you don’t want me to take care of you now, I still have to take care of you.”

“You… you mean… you’re my… family?” Qi Lanqin stammered, looking at Song Xiaodong in surprise.

“Yes, I’m your family, but not related by blood.” Song Xiaodong rubbed his nose, feeling that this relationship was indeed a bit hard to explain.

“Let me put it this way, your identity is actually quite noble. You are a princess.”

“Princess?” Qi Lanqin cried out in surprise.

Song Xiaodong nodded and said, “Yes, a princess. But not a princess of any country, rather of a special order, called Dragon Gate.”

“Dragon Gate…” Qi Lanqin repeated instinctively.

Song Xiaodong nodded and said, “I’m the Young Master of Dragon Gate, and like you, there are a total of four princesses. Besides you, I have already found one.”

“Dragon Gate… what does it do?” Qi Lanqin still looked a bit dazed.

Song Xiaodong said, “Twenty years ago, Dragon Gate was the most powerful sect in the world. However, due to some special reasons, it was disbanded. Our parents died in that special event, and we were secretly sent away. So… now taking care of you is my responsibility.”

Qi Lanqin stared blankly at Song Xiaodong, unable to speak for a long time. What Song Xiaodong said was really hard to comprehend, and Qi Lanqin’s brain truly felt overwhelmed.
